Dawn Marie Photography

nd beyond any expectation we could have ever had!! Dawn blew me away with the turn around time- which is huge when you need to get save the dates and invites out quick! She will be our photographer for all things in the future! BOOK HER- you will not regret it!

ress off of our plate. She communicated every small detail with us and made sure everything was the way we wanted it. She showed up on our (rainy) day of with an all star attitude and made sure we still had all the beautiful shoots every bride and groom dreamed of despite the gross and rainy weather. We were unable to do our engagement shoot( due to our schedule) and I was so nervous it was going to be awkward day of but she second we met dawn it was like we had been friends for our whole lives. She had this essence about her that makes you feel so comfortable. I honestly couldn’t imagine my day without her as our photographer. Even post wedding, she has been in contact with us to make sure we are happy with how all pictures came out and honestly she will probably be someone we keep in contact with for years to come!

ntly feelings on getting our photos taken. I want someone to tell me how to adjust my face and my body for the perfect angle and my husband prefers an "almost candid" experience. She was able find a healthy balance that met both of your preferences. Our Engagement photo session was the perfect practice round and opportunity to work with Dawn. She made us feel so comfortable and felt like an instant friend! Between the months of our engagement shoot and our October 2019 wedding Dawn checked in and kept our wedding planning in mind along the way. She sent over a timeline for photos and asked really thoughtful questions to help make sure our wedding day went smoothly. She was extremely collaborative with our other vendors which tied all our planning together nicely. Going into the wedding day I knew I could depend on Dawn as she demonstrated polished professionalism and adaptability with changing timelines due to impending weather. Dawn kept things moving smoothly as we got ready throughout the day while letting the wedding party and family embrace the little moments that made the day all that more special. Dawn was there from the very beginning of the day until the very end and captured the day beautifully. Her turn around on photos was very quick and she went above and beyond when it came to the quality and quantity of photos she was able to share with us. Our photos are breathtaking and her care throughout the whole year made for a stress-free and unforgettable experience.

nough. We have not been able to stop looking at our photos since we got them, they are absolute treasures that we will cherish a lifetime. If you are looking for the best wedding photographer to capture your memories, look no further!

ou never get that day back to retake the photos that were missed. However, Dawn made this such a wonderful experience and I couldn't be happier with our new photos! She made both of us feel incredibly comfortable and instead of putting us in awkward poses she encouraged us to be ourselves and have fun. She really listened to what was important to us and made sure no shots were missed! She was also very timely and communicative so I was never wondering how long it would take. She had sneak peaks ready for us THAT NIGHT! Dawn is so easy to work with it felt like we were hanging out with a friend and we look forward to taking many more pictures with her in the future <3

me much earlier to drive around the site. When we were on our way to our originally decided spot, we were told by Dawn that she would love to show us a different location near our previously selected spot. We went there and immediately loved the scenery around us which was much better than the one we selected before. Because of her professional insight and a strong sense of responsibility, our engagement section turned out very successful. Thank you, Dawn! Jing and Haifeng

d wedding perfectly, was detailed orientated and kept everyone on task with a calm demeanor! We couldn’t have asked for a better person to capture our day. We will cherish these photos forever! And even though we are not local to North Carolina, we hope to work with Dawn again in the future!! She was amazing!!

our sessions with Dawn he said he actually enjoyed them. Our photos were back to us super fast, and everyone that looks at them tells me how good they were. Everyone has told me how sweet and good my photographer was, and I definitely agree. Would absolutely refer anyone and everyone!

ial day is so important and I didn’t realize how important until I was actually able to relive every moment through her photos!! I recommend dawn and dawn only for any special event you have coming up and want photos of. Trust me it will be more than worth it ;)

plete sweetheart. Within the first five minutes of our first time meeting I felt like she was my best friend. She has such a gift in making you feel comfortable and beautiful. She takes the time to get to know you.. what you like/dislike and how to bring the best out of you to get the perfect shot. She is professional, punctual, detailed-oriented and very good at what she does. I will forever treasure this wonderful lady and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone in need of an outstanding photographer.

me that day! I honestly don’t feel like I could have found a better person to discover and capture exactly the vision in my mind for both my engagement session and on my wedding day! We are super uncomfortable picture takers but she had us talk and play out simple cinerios. It made the photos look so natural. She has a great eye for a good photo op and will go out of her way for you! Her services are an absolute steal! She comes highly recommended from this girl!

our budget. She got to know us up until the day of our wedding. Photos were delivered in a timely manner (let's be real..the anticipation is REAL waiting for wedding photos). Thankful Dawn is not just my wedding photographer, but now friend too!

e has a natural gift to make anyone feel comfortable and be there true self which shows in her pictures.

us on a personal level and made us feel so comfortable taking pictures. My husband is NOT a picture taking fella but we left our engagement session with Dawn with him saying, "That was actually pretty fun!" That was HUGE!! We knew she was the perfect fit for us. We felt right at home 10 minutes into the session. During my bridal pictures we battled a swarm of mosquitos leaving us all with dozens of mosquitos bites and yet we still had an amazing session full of laughs and GORGEOUS pictures! The memories we now have captured forever thanks to Dawn make me tear up every time I look at them. She captured so many precious moments on our wedding day that we may have missed otherwise and I'm so grateful for that! Dawn is such an amazing person and her photos are incredible! She goes above and beyond to connects with her clients and wants to get to know them so she can capture their love story perfectly. I can truly say she's not only an amazing photographer but now has become an amazing friend that I greatly cherish!

ing so we didn’t have those same fake smiles in every picture. She climbed up some rocks and through some branches to get a good shot of us. She would keep reminding me how beautiful I looked to give me that extra boost of confidence. I just honestly could not think of a better photographer to capture our special day. Once I saw the finished product my eyes were watering because of how beautiful they were! Now I have such amazing photos to look back on and relive that day over and over again. I highly recommend Dawn to capture those special moments for you. She is the best!

ceremony, the setting, the families, little unique touches, she photographed it all masterfully. I was really blown away. We thought she would be good. But she even exceeded our expectations. We would definitely recommend Dawn. She has a fun personality and a wonderful talent. Great job!

cé and I had a couple of ideas and she was easy to work with, We both loved all of our pictures, the most amazing chapter of our lives was well captured through our photo shoot! Thank you so much. We want to do a family shoot next!!!

very curtious, professional and mindful of the day. She never made us feel rushed in any picture. She is very easy to work with and we would recommend her to any of our friends or family.

ovided great ideas for locations. We arrived on scene and Dawn instantly made us feel comfortable. She is so creative and knows the perfect way to capture a shot. Our session was supposed to last for 2 hours, but Dawn kept finding inspirations along the way and made sure we had a wide variety of poses and shots. She is excellent at finding your unique “story” as a couple and reflecting it in your pictures together. Afterwards, Dawn wrote up a special biography that told our journey as a couple with our pictures. We are beyond grateful to Dawn for the memories she captured for us; we will treasure them for a lifetime! She is an amazing person and will make you feel so special in whatever type of session you book with her!

ne, I was panicking!! From the moment I spoke to Dawn, I knew she was the perfect person to capture our wedding; I truly felt like I had known her for years, we just clicked! Dawn has a wonderful personality and is so down to Earth, it's hard not to love her. Our wedding day didn't go as smoothly as planned (does it ever? Lol), from the bridal parties flowers dying to the craziest winds at the beach, Dawn wasn't just "the photographer", she went into friend mode, Dawn knew exactly what to say to help calm my nerves and make me feel at peace. My husband and I felt so comfortable with her, actually, the whole family felt comfortable with her; we laughed throughout the whole day! The photos turned out beautifully, everyone was so impressed! Dawn is such a talented photographer, you can tell that she loves what she does, it shows through her work. Dawn wasn't just our photographer on our wedding day, she was a part of the family and is now a lifelong friend!

he best Dawn is the best! My husband and I were privileged enough to not just have our wedding day with her but also have our engagement pictures done with her. The vision she had for our engagement session was beautiful, personal to us and our story and honestlt a littlw magical. She really took her time with us and I couldn't be more happy with the work that she did so when it came to our wedding day I had no worries when it came to my Photography I knew that Dawn was going to do a great job and she did. She worked with our budget she was sweet and polite and thoughtful all throughout the process and stayed with us until the very end of the night. After our wedding was over we had not just had a good experience with a photographer but we had made a new friend she is truly a wonderful person and so very talented and I'm so thankful that I chose her.
